When reviewing one of my recent questions, I wanted to tab through the question to upvote one of the answers a poster provided. However, it appears that downvotes and upvotes aren't accessible through tab. Why is this?

Can we make it so that we can vote with the keyboard (using tab and spacebar)?

Sidenote:
Also just found I can't add comments via tabbing on the keyboard...

Another Sidenote:
I can't accept an answer via tabbing on the keyboard...

@Lix - wow - I love the official-keyboard-shortcuts! That does everything I need to through the keyboard. Should I delete this post or do you think it's worth getting the voting and comments to be "tab-able"?

@TomWijsman - I just installed the "version with update check" in Chrome and it's working for me

@Zac - Well... it does already exist... But you might be able to squeeze a few more upvotes ;)

@ZackMacomber: Ah, that one wanted to install a new one on every visit, probably a bug with Tampermonkey. Will update it soon, there was a probably related to blocking the historic votes...

I know this is really a year old, but I want to comment that people who need to access sites with keyboard control only, shouldn't be forced to learn 'official keyboard shortcuts' - nice as they are. Websites should be made to be accessible using standard techniques as much as possible.
